Executive Summary
The idea of microneedles arose in the 1970s. A patent that explains a drug delivery device giving small projections—that is, microneedles—was filed in 1971, by Gerstel and Martin from Alza Corporation. In 1976, an American patent for transdermal delivery via microneedle was released. (As far back as 1905, a German dermatologist initially utilized a technique involving the rotating wheels and rasps that helped treat various skin conditions.) The development of microneedles was emerging till the 1990s. In 1998, an innovative approach to transdermal drug delivery was developed. Today, microneedles are still evolving, expanding their fields and improving outcomes.
Microneedles has been proven as a highly effective and versatile technique, which is applied in various medical fields from dermatology to vaccines, from drug delivery to diseases treatment. Solid microneedles come in different forms such as silicon, metal, polymer, and ceramic, and they are used in cosmetic fields. It is a highly recommended and accepted method by physicians and patients due to its minimally invasive, painless approach, affordable, therapeutic efficacy, and relatively safe technique.
Growth of the global market is attributed to the factors such as the wide range of existing and potential applications for microneedles, increasing demand for dermatology procedures and minimally invasive drug delivery, and the growing number of infectious diseases. However, the risks and limitations of using microneedling devices, as well as stringent product scenario, are hindering the market growth. Apart from drivers and restraints, R&D of microneedles by key players will create huge opportunities for vendors in the market.
In this report, the global market for solid microneedles has been segmented based on application and geography. Based on application, the solid microneedle market has been categorized into dermatology, disease treatment and others..
By geography, the solid microneedle market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. The North American region currently is the dominant market for solid microneedles. The increased incidence of asthma, increasing incidence of influenza, rising number of cases of acne and presence of major market players are some of the key factors driving the North American market. Asia-Pacific is currently the fastest-growing market for solid microneedles globally.
